[Pw_forum] Questions about plotting

[glevita at units.it]

Dear Paolo and Tone, thank you very much for your suggestions.
I verified that by using a serial version of the code, the linear  
projection of the charge density is generated correctly. Good news for  
that matters, then.
The only problem is that now I tried to do the same for the ILDOS in a  
certain energy range, and the pp program stops with

  IOS = 36
   
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
      from davcio : error #        10
      i/o error in davcio
   
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
      stopping ...

My obvious guess is that it is not possible for a serial PP to read  
the numerous  temporary files generated by a parallel PW version.  
However, how is it possible that the charge density is actually well  
computed, and the ILDOS is not?
I now try searching the forum archive for some advices...
Thanks,
  Giacomo
